you've probably answered your own question.

We copy what we generally see. Ergonomically it will be better to position the guitar more to the left.

Put your left hand out in to a comfortable fretting position and place the guitar to the hand.

We tend to do the opposite position the guitar and see how we can reach with our fretting hand.

I only play for myself, in a seated position, so after much experimentation I play with the guitar rested on my raised left leg but more between the legs in what I think people describe as cello legs .

It keeps the feet , hips and shoulders more square and protects against strain injuries from any more twisted positions.

But it is very individual and what suits best
